My EVGA GTX660 w\ACX FTW is at 44c at idel before it was at 32c. i opened the side panel and it didnt go down. do i need to replace the thermal past?
Did you crank up some settings? Check settings first. Maybe, blow the dust out of it. If your temps continue to raise, void your warranty and replace the thermal paste.
i already dust it off
and heres the setting
Adjust the fan curve so it is cooling it at a decent RPM.
My R9 270 has 40% from 0-35 degrees Celsius then maxes out at 60% fan speed if it gets to 80C, which is never does unless I run a benchmark.
With my settings it idles around 30C.
yup, adjust fans. Might consider using more than one monitoring tools for temps. HWiNFO and Speccy just name a couple.
no its not going to work. i put the fan speed at 60% and went down to 40c
Well in some way your are putting more load on your gpu than you were before. I would default all settings than rebuild your preferrred config. Change resolutions ?
i only have the google chrome and precisionX 16 open at the time
Try closing chrome to see if it using extra system resources? Give a minute or two to see if temps drop.
nope nothing
found what it was. it was nvidia shadow play. i left it on to see the fps while playing FC4 and fraps recording the fps. i for get about it cuz the game crashedÂ
